Dear Bernard,

I have just read two very happy making things when I visited the question page. One-you are working on a new Sharpe book!  Huzzah!! I hope you are going to wrap up the big question of his daughter with Teresa.  Two-you may write the story of young Uhtred.  I just finished War Lord, which like all your books was terrific. I decided to find out more about Bebbanburg, and did not like what I found.  In my heart I want it to live forever, like so much good fiction.. Thank you for the many many hours of reading pleasure.
